Best tacos ever. Order the sampler plate with 10 different types from veggie to shrimp, to fish, to pork… you get the idea. Fresh and amazing!! Next door to Bridgestone Arena. Many Predator fans eat here before the game. Great bar and big screens too.

I loved the generous portion of meat. The brisket was awesome! The sauce is tasty and the bread is similar to cornbread but different. Must try! And the side dishes were southern perfection.

To our surprise, the seating is family style. You will be at a large table with other folks. Food is served family style in dishes placed in center of table for all to pass around. The fried chicken is great. Pot roast is tender and delicious. Everything a southern grandma would prepare for a family feast!!!
